UNLV spring Day 13 recap: Good times for Raiders fan Kyle Saxelid

Kyle Saxelid, a Northern California native and UNLV’s left tackle, has no bittersweet feelings about the Raiders leaving Oakland for Las Vegas.

Saxelid, a lifelong Raiders fan, is thrilled about the Silver and Black moving to his second home.

“Super psyched,” said Saxelid, who played at Cosumnes Oaks High School in Elk Grove, California. “I loved the Raiders, have since I was a little kid. Now that they’re coming to Vegas, man, that’s a dream right there. Came here, and I can’t go to games anymore because I’m always out here, but now they’re coming out here.
